SCHAUMBURG — A 36-year-old Des Plaines woman was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of Woodfield Mall, police said. The woman left the mall from the lower level of Sears, walked to her car and set her shopping bag down so she could unlock her car door. A man, whom she had seen moments earlier at the exit, picked up her bag, shoved her lightly and pulled a handgun, authorities said. Without saying a word, the man, who was in his 50s, left. The woman lost $200 worth of clothing and $60, police said.
